may have something to do with it. officials fixed broken pipes last week. but nobody knows why there's so much water. right now, multiple causes are under investigation. >> i think they're talking about a lot of broken dreams and uprooted lives at this point. >> reporter: uprooted lives, indeed. to add to the mystery, there's also a dormant volcano in the area. and at least one public works employee says he believes many of the problems there are caused by the volcano. scientists are looking at all of this right now. dan and bianna? >> caused by a volcano. bizarre. gio, thank you. let's get to ron claiborne with a look at the developing stories making headlines. >> yo, mom. good morning to you bianna and dan. good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news out of trenton, new jersey. a standoff between a gunman and police that began last friday ended just a short while ago. state police say the situation, in their words, has been resolved. the suspect is in custody. and the three children being held hostage, they are now safe. police were called to the home after reports the man had

reservoirs for clues, authorities now say there was no intruder. and they have charged leila's older brother with homicide. >> citizens of calveras county can sleep a little better tonight. >> reporter: investigators are not saying what led them to suspect the brother. and they are not answering questions. the children's parents are not available for comment this morning. for "good morning america," john schriffen, abc news, new york. nasa is keeping a close eye on the international space station to make sure a rare unscheduled spacewalk to repair an ammonia leak got the job done. astronauts had to replace a pump. they believe the problem was -- nasa officials say the crew was never in any danger. and o.j. simpson is expected to appear in a las vegas courtroom tomorrow, hoping to overturn his conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping. simpson is serving a sentence of up to 33 years in prison. his current legal team says the last attorneys were so incompetent, that simpson deserves freedom and a new trial. and finally, say this about richard branson.

the man does make good on his bets. the british billionaire, check it out. he shaved his legs, put on lipstick and dressed up as a flight attendant after losing a wager to an airline owner over a formula 1 race, between their two formula s. branson joked that his drivers are no longer employed. and he not only dressed up, as you saw. but he worked the flight from perth, australia, to kuala lumpur in malaysia. six hours. so, it was more than just masquerading. >> the goatee is a bit of an impediment to -- >> he looked pretty without the goatee. i think. >> you think so? >> mother's day, she's feeling more generous than most. >> yo, mom. >> thanks, ron. we're going to turn to basketball hall of famer turned unlikely diplomat of sorts. dennis rodman, the flamboyant former nba star, is planning a second visit to north korea. this time he's hoping his new friend, the 29-year-old communist dictator who rules the

country with an iron fist, will free an american jailed there. abc's reena ninan has details from washington. good morning, reena. >> reporter: good morning to you. flamboyant, you're right. dennis rodman, he doesn't disappoint when it comes to being provocative. and this time, he has some harsh words for president obama, as he plans some freelance diplomacy for a potential august trip to north korea. he's back! >> obama can't do [ bleep ]. >> reporter: harsh words for president obama on this rant on tmz.com. where former nba star, dennis rodman, vented about the president's foreign policy toward north korean leader kim jong-un. >> we have a black president. how about that one? >> reporter: rodman, who visited the communist nation in 2013, is planning a return trip in august. this time, rodman says, he's on a mission, a mission he feels president obama can't get done. >> obama can't do [ bleep ]. i don't know why he won't do

it, but do that for us. >> reporter: rodman, hoping to bring home 44-year-old korean-american kenneth bay, recently sentenced to 15 years hard labor in north korea, after being accused of smuggling anti-government propaganda into the country. >> it's going to be difficult because i think it's -- his nationality is close. like his background. >> reporter: after rodman's 2013 trip, the basketball star turned international man of diplomacy, drew controverublic praise of kim jong-un, during this interview with george stephanopoulos. >> he's a great guy. he is a great guy. >> reporter: now rodman is reaching out to un via twitter, asking a man he calls a friend, saying do me a solid and cut kenneth bay lose. rodman even gives credit to un for another solid, dialing down recent tensions on the korean peninsula. at least kim will do one thing. he took the missiles back. thank you. >> reporter: a u.s. official tells me they are calling for the north koreans to grant bay amnesty. they're also in touch with his family. dan?

secretary of state that may run for president in 2016? >> that's so far away. but it will certainly be something that people will look at. it may be far away, 2016. but this could very likely follow her into a presidential race, if she decides to run. especially those e-mails that were altered. no one is saying hillary clinton altered those e-mails and took out references to al qaeda. but, boy, they're going to look at that. >> this may dog her for months, perhaps longer. martha raddatz, thank you. and martha has a big show this morning. senators john mccain and jack reed will debate benghazi. that's later this morning. martha raddatz in for george stephanopoulos in for "this week." we're going to turn, now, to prince harry's headlinemaking tour of america. the always colorful royal is helping kicking off the warrior games for wounded service members in colorado. he'll spend another day in the rockies before heading back to tour damage from last year's superstorm sandy in new jersey. and abc's rachel smith has the story.

♪ calling out around the world are you ready for a brand-new beat ♪ this morning, it's the mother's day edition of mom testers, where we recruit moms from across america to test out the amazing-looking products as seen on tv. this time, we have a spinning mop, a special pillow and something called the perfect pancake pan. can the products stand up to the ultimate test? the results coming up here on "good morning america." good morning, everybody. i'm dan harris. >> and i'm bianna golodryga. i didn't like what i saw. no mother should be mopping the floor on mother's day this morning. >> fair point. >> happy mother's day to everyone at home. happy mother's day to your mom, my mom. and ron, your mother -- >> out in l.a. she's watching right now. all the moms out there. also ahead, attention ginger zee, nothing says summer is nearly here like a fun slip 'n slide. i think ginger could do that.

this one, as you see, as a twist, literally. we'll freeze this video and show you how things turned out coming up in "fixation." >> that's too tame for ginger zee. we're going to start with a twisted and bizarre murder of aspiring actress and model. prosecutors say it was a hit carried out by somebody who is described as a female james bond. >> the suspect is about to go on trial. but the person who allegedly ordered the killing is out of the country and out of reach of law. abc's akiko fujita has the story. >> reporter: this morning, 47-year-old accused murderer, kelly soo park, remains free on $3.5 million bail. but that freedom may be temporary, as jury selection is set to begin on monday for park's long-awaited trial, facing murder charges. she's charged with killing model juliana redding in an alleged murder-for-hire plot. 21-year-old redding moved from arizona with hollywood dreams. landing a spread in "maxim" magazine. a small role in an independent movie. >> i don't really want to do it. >> reporter: two years after

beginning her modeling and acting career, redding was found strangled and beaten to death in her santa monica home. prosecutors say park worked for for dr. munir uwaydah. uwaydah and redding's dad reportedly were in a business deal. but greg jennings pulled out of the deal just days before his daughter's murder. prosecutors say uwaydah bragged about park. calling her a female james bond. he could rely on to take care of business. court documents say they used threats, intimidation and bullying, acting as the doctor's debt collector. and court documents show that prosecutors show park alleged to receive a $250,000 payment weeks before redding was killed. the doctor has never been charged. dna evidence linked park to the crime, according to investigators. defense lawyers argue the real killer is juliana redding's boyfriend, john gilmore. >> they're trying to point the finger at gilmore, saying he

had, at one time allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend. >> reporter: but investigators cleared gilmore as a suspect, insisting he had several alibis. experts say the defense will likely bring up other persons of interest, as they fight for park's freedom. park will be free to enter and leave the courtroom and walk anywhere she'd like because she's free on bail. and legal analysts say that could work in her favor. that image, they say, is likely to create a better impression on jurors. dan and bianna? >> akiko, thank you. twisted and bizarre, the accurate adjectives for that case. the trial starting tomorrow. we'll stay on it. now, we'll check the other overnight headlines. and for that, mr. ron claiborne. >> good morning, everyone. in the news, new video shows the moment that cleveland police burst into that house of horrors where three women had been held captive for a decade. the women are now out of the hospital. their accused captor, ariel castro, is behind bars. more than two dozen people have been killed in a mine explosion in china.

wls, our affiliate, looking at that lake and getting sunshine. it won't feel too bad. especially if you're not in the shade. think of it that way. but in new york, it will be much less humid. the rain moving away. it has some clearing skies. it will just be a little on the breezy side. and certainly colder by the time we reach our monday morning. look at the numbers. we're talking frost and freeze advisories in 17 states. and this is for tomorrow morning. subfreezing for green bay, pittsburgh, buffalo right around 34. detroit, right above that freezing mark. louisville, only in the mid to upper 30s. the cold will settle in. but if you want heat, you go out to ron's mom's house in los angeles. 84 for a high. san jose makes it to 80. sacramento 91. 95 vegas. and palm springs rounding out at 100. i'll leave you with a look across the nation. the nation.
